Perfumes, colognes and toilet waters are solutions of perfume oils in specially denatured alcohols, (ethyl alcohol with various denaturants which make it unsuitable for human consumption). In addition, ethanol is used as a solvent for flavors, as an extraction solvent for many natural products and as a reagent for the production of many ethyl esters. Summing up all these uses, the quantity of ethanol used in the fragrance and flavor industry tops all other alcohols by far. 

Perfumes contain 10-25% oil in SDA 39C. The denaturant is diethyl phthalate - 1 100. Colognes and toilet waters contain 2-6% oil in SDA 40 as shown in Figure 9. The denaturant is brucine sulfate - 3 oz. per 100 gallons. Ethanol used as a solvent for flavors is the 95% grade and is fully taxed since it is potable. All ethanol used for fragrances and flavors must get by the close scrutiny of the Quality Control perfumer or flavorist. The road can be rough. 

Products known as UV absorbers, similar to the products used in sunscreen preparations, can be added to alcoholic lotions that almost eliminate this type of discoloration. Some companies use them as a matter of course in the manufacture of their finished perfumes and toilet waters. But they should not be added directly to the perfume compound. Many of the problems of discoloration in soap, for example, as by vanillin, are accelerated by exposure to light. 

Perfume is the most concentrated form of a liquid scent. Toilet water and cologne are dilute variations. Potpourri is a mixture of naturally-scented plant parts, usually flower petals, seeds, leaves, and bark. Incense is a substance that gives off a scent when heated. These are usually plant resins, either used in their natural state or combined with other substances to increase or change the smell.

Water also works well for waste disposal because so many materials dissolve in water. But as we all know, there is a big difference between toilet water—as in water in the toilet—and toilet water, as in eau de toilet. The properties of the solution depend on the solvent, the solute, and the amount of solute it contains. Discussion of these important parameters is where we are headed next.

Use Mainly for the production of perfumes, especially Eau de Colognes and fresh toilet waters. Pressed B. contains up to ca. 1% of the furocoumarin bergap-ten which causes phototoxic reactions (so-called ber-lock or berloque (perfume) dermatitis). Thus mild rectification of B. is recommended before its use in perfume oils, since bergapten remains in the distillation residue. B. is also used in small amounts to aromatize confectionery and bakery products, often in combination with other citrus oils well known is the aromatization of tea ( Earl Grey tea). 

Activity Many F. induce a brown pigmentation in the skin on exposure to sunlight. They are photosensitizing, phototoxic, and can induce allergic dermatitis (Berloque s dermatitis), possibly with severe symptoms such as blister formation. The effect can also arise when, for example, scented toilet waters whose plant components still contain F. are applied to the skin. Use In photochemotherapy for vitiligo, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, mycosis togoides. Photoactivated F. bind covalently as haptens to proteins as well as pyrimidines of DNA and thus have antimitotic effects. For synthesis, see Lit.. ...
